Pulling No Punches: The T-E-Double-Grr-ible Truth/First They Came for Tigger

[Fortuosity]

“Disney is supposed to be a safe place.” - Jerry Monaco, Sr.

Or is it?

“It is supposed to be a place where you come and spend time with your family.” - Jerry Monaco, Sr.

Really? Is this what's called Family Entertainment at Its Best?

Look at yourselves.

Go on, take a look around.

People of DISboards, you been had!

Pixie-Dusted!

Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Booed!

Dole-Whipped!

We didn’t land on Walt Disney World: Walt Disney World landed on us!


Disney isn’t content to just clean out your wallets, folks: it wants to clean your clocks too. It’s a Small World After All, and getting smaller one sucker-punch at a time - and you’re falling for it!

Don’t believe me? I link; you decide.

These quotes don't come to you from some turban-headed Osama bin Llama, but from The Great Mouse-Eared One himself:

"You may not realize it when it happens, but a kick in the teeth may be the best thing in the world for you." - Walt Disney
http://thinkexist.com/quotation/you_may_not_realize_it_when_it_happens-but_a_kick/15869.html

“You're dead if you aim only for kids. Adults are only kids grown up, anyway.” - Walt Disney
http://thinkexist.com/quotation/your_dead_if_you_aim_only_for_kids-adults_are/226714.html

Not that Retlaw Yensid took responsibility for the fruits of his nefarious “vision” - oh, no! - he beat critics to the punch by shifting blame to a reprobate rodent:

"I only hope that we don't lose sight of one thing - that it was all started by a mouse." - Walt Disney
http://www.knowprose.com/node/1520

Now I'm not saying that that Mouse is innocent, mind you:

Malicious Mickey - oh the flashbacks! - Link
Morbidly Malicious Mickey - my very life flashed before my eyes...I thought I was Mousemeat! - Link
Monstro-us Mickey - it's true, I swear by my tattoo! - Link


Mickey’s just one somewhat-significant pest*, but the painful plot packs quite a punch when one takes a closer look at character, i.e. Disney “Character”:

When Donald "The Donald" Duck is DISpleased - Link
Don't goof around with Goofy - Link
Fab Five Fists - Link


*The journey of a thousand trips begins with one small, DIScounted family vacation package including free More Magic with Mickey Mouse Photo-Op**

TOV

YA.........is there a point........

 

[yeartolate]

How are those quotes related to OBL?

Why iare they so out of character for our perception of Walt?

 

[TheOtherVillainess]

OBL=Osama Bin Laden, I presume?

Actually I believe they said it was Osama bin Llama.

"You may not realize it when it happens, but a kick in the teeth may be the best thing in the world for you."

This quote made me think of my neighbor. She fell down stairs and brroke her leg. While they were preping her for surgery to fix the leg, they discovered lung cancer by xray. The broken leg (proverbial kick in the teeth) led them to an early diagnosis of a type of lung cancer that is usually deadly.

Why would you think this quoote was more attributable to Osama?

The other quotes you mentioned are also excellent. Why is Walt like OBL for saying them?

 

[TheOtherVillainess]

If Walt is like OBL, then we are all in big trouble.

I hesitate to expose myself here, but sometimes you just have to suck it up and roll with the punches amidst the pain. Men, I know we’re tough, no doubt about it; and yeah, Tigger’s not likely to cause most of us much trouble. But Disney has ways, man. I'm talkin' some pretty low blows, if you catch my drift.

Who among us Mr. Incredible Hercules He-Men would have ever thought a little rooster could make us squawk like a chicken? Chicken Chop - Link

Or that those cool Cars cars come equipped with an “anti-theft” (wink-wink-nudge-nudge) device ala Naked Gun? Git-R-Done! - Link


You still claim you're immune?


Can you resist a hot Disney princess?


Two of a kind??


Three's Company?!?


How about........... FOUR femmes fatales!!??


Careful, they can plant one K.O. of a kiss! POW-POW-POW-POWerful Princesses - Link

In a four-lettered word, fellows? We're talkin' some MAJOR OUCH!*




Now if you're beginning to think that Disney’s Meet & Greets get rough, just imagine the kind of punchline(s) you’ll be subjected to Here - Link and Here - Link!



But that’s just the Disney parks, right? Hakuna Matata -- no haymakers in, say, New Hampshire? You're fooling yourselves, folks. I'd hate to break this to you if it were any less humorous, but I’m here to inform you that Walt Disney's Theme Parks are only Round 1. The gloves really come off out in the world beyond the World.


*Please remember where you are. Disney asks that you refrain from profanity regardless if you feel you have been justifiably provoked. We thank you for your cooperation. Have a Disney Day.
